One reason I prefer watching older shows is that the format made the writing so concise. They can fit two plots and some character development into 42 minutes, unlike newer shows where it's twenty minutes of dialog and narration every episode. For example, the last season of Discovery had as much happen as two episodes of TNG.
Also the ducking voice over at the end hammering home the moral of the story. No matter if it makes any sense at all.
Because sometime we all need to a , even if . There is so much that causes us to bla bla bla I can't even write this bullshit.
Shows these days also do a lot of "tell don't show." Yes, I know the McGuffin is important and why, I don't need you to explain it to me with a full paragraph of dialog.
